Our lovely cottage in the beautiful Bearn region of south west France is only 45 minutes from the Pyrenees. The Atlantic coast is less than an hour away, while tumbling rivers, picturesque towns and beautiful countryside are close by. The location, and breathtaking views, is ideal for walkers, bikers, bird watchers and food lovers. The cottage has everything you need for a stress-free stay in one of the most beautiful parts of France. We welcome those who will appreciate such a special place.

Our cottage is in a truly beautiful part of
France. It is particularly quiet as it's at the end of a small lane off the main village road. The south-facing garden and rear of the house look towards the Pyrenees, with rolling hills, woods and fields between.
The property is 600 year's old but has been very tastefully modernised so has all the conveniences needed to have a restful time. The covered terrace with a large outside table and six chairs, provides shade in the summer, and also has a hot tub which is fantastic to relax in.
Downstairs is a spacious sitting room with two large sofas, TV and a big wood-burner which gives a lot of heat during cold winter evenings. The kitchen which is connected to the sitting room is well-equipped with fridge, freezer, gas hob and electric oven, dishwasher and all the dishes, pans and utensils you'll need. The washing machine is also conveniently located in a cupboard in the kitchen. The dining room leads off the kitchen with a table that can easily accommodate six.
Go up the stairs to two spacious bedrooms - one with a double bed and basin, the other the master bedroom with king-sized bed. The bathroom leads off from the landing and master bedroom (commonly known as a Jack and Jill bathroom) and can be locked on both doors for privacy when required.
All the windows in the house have traditional wooden shutters which, when shut during the heat of the day, keeps the house cool in summer and warm in winter.

Our cottage is in the heart of the gorgeous Bearn region, noted for its rivers, rolling hills, historic picturesque towns, food, fetes and hot summers. Thanks to the mild climate in winter and the abundance of water from the snow-melt off the nearby Pyrenees, the countryside is green and fresh.
The nearest town, Orthez, is less than 10 minutes drive away, and has excellent supermarkets, shops, markets and bars. Salies-de-Bearn, 20 minutes away, is a lovely town famous for its thermal saline baths.
The Atlantic coast is less than an hour away, with the choice of elegant Biarritz, the long beaches of the Landes to the north or the coves in coastal villages south/west of Biarritz.
Spain is about an hour away on the main road, although driving on the smaller roads through the Pyrenees to Spain are some of the most beautiful you can imagine.
Everyone's holiday home is special. In no particular order, this is what's special about ours:
Complete peace and tranquillity;
Stunning views;
Hot summers, mild winters;
Beautiful drives on deserted country roads;
Undiscovered sleepy villages;
Family run restaurants nearby;
The thermal baths at Salies-de-Bearn;
Rivers and streams to swim in and walk by;
Driving high into the Pyrenees;
Walking in the lovely countryside;
Woods, hills and mountains;
Birds of prey circling in the thermal currents;
Local cheeses, fruit, hams, sausages and wine;
The Atlantic coast for clean beaches, waves, seafood, sun and people watching

The spa town of Salies-de-Béarn, less than 3km from the house, is best known for its rich thermal springs and baths, but the town offers the visitor many other attractions as well.
Besides a museum dedicated to the history of the baths, Salies-de-Béarn holds a luxury hotel with a casino, if you wish to try your luck there, as well as a wide variety of restaurants and bars. One of these, the Restaurant des Voisins, is said to be the oldest building in the village (Tip: while it averages around 30 Euros for a dinner entrée, lunch pricing is around half that.)
The river Saleys flows gently through the town, and the small lanes and paths throughout are perfect for a relaxing afternoon stroll. Salies-de-Béarn’s Golf Club Helios lies only 4km from your doorstep, while the surrounding French countryside also offers such attractions as mountain biking, horseback riding, hunting, rafting, and hiking. And for those wanting to swim or surf the Atlantic Ocean, the popular seaside resort town of Biarritz is just 74km away.

The 18th century farmhouse has a flagstone kitchen and an open fireplace, and views extend over the hills and into the fields of our horses. Rooms or apartments are available for families, couples or groups. All can participate in on-site activities.

Situated in the hills of Béarn, the site is surrounded by spectacular views of the valley of Salies and of the Pyrenees.The maison de maitre is part of our campsite, Domaine d'Esperbasque, which is known for its welcoming, happy ambience. There are many on-site activities such as go-karting, swimming and darts, and inside our bustling barn are our horses - who always need grooming - and our tusked pig Basco. Please visit our website for more information, videos and lots of pictures! (website hidden) . Breakfast is available, served in our dining room which retains its original fireplace, and we think the best part is the eggs from our chickens who wander our site and the fresh home-made bread. This costs 6.50 euros per person.
Wifi is fast and free, and is in the reception room opposite the house where you can build a nice cosy fire.
A hairdryer or iron is available on demand; a machine wash costs 5 euros.
The swimming pool is open during the summer.

We are in the Medieval area of Salies, and are within easy driving distance of the Basque Country and the Pyrenees. Visits to cities such as Bordeaux and San Sebastian are also possible. For those who wish to self-cater, the markets are lively hubbubs of food, animals and chatter. The local rivers provide idyllic swimming, kayaking and watersports; the hills provide scenic walking, cycling and horse-riding.

Marianne runs brilliantly and personality, a firm-riding camp on the road from Béarn to Salies de Béarn Sauveterre. It is of infinite kindness, knows how to put everyone at ease and offers a variety of fun activities for all its residents.

My husband and I stayed with Josie and Tilly (her so cute, friendly and always hungry ;) dog) in her lovely country house for a few perfect summer days in August 2016. Josie is a very friendly, helpful and warm host with a great sense of humor. Besides being a wealth of information on what to do and which places to visit in the region, she’s also a great company to chat with about many interesting topics. That is, if you’re still able to talk for any measurable length of time after eating all of the tasteful and home-made food she puts in front of you during breakfasts. After finishing those, chilling by the pool and taking in the beautiful natural scenery of the surrounds is just about all you’ll want - or be able - to do ;)

House beautiful and very pleasant. We had a great time. Typical house of the region that has a lot of charm where one feels oneself at fast because the house has a real soul. Old house with authentic charm but where modern comfort is present. We went in the center of Salies-de-Béarn walk, the ride is quite short (15-20 min) to the market or just a drink. A great place for big families or for people who want to find a quiet place where it is pleasant to read in the large garden (the house is no shortage of books: very large library in the living room and bedroom). The region does not lack charm: beautiful villages where it is good to walk. In addition, Jane will welcome you and introduce you very sympathetically the region by indicating the good addresses. His welcome was very attentive. We had a very good holiday.

Our stay in Salies was fantastic! The house was exactly what we were looking for. This is a house full of character, perfectly located, and with a very nice surrounding. It is a 400 years old house (yeah, 400!!), so don't expect to see a modern house with modern materials. The restoration of the house is made conscientiously to maintain the character, the history and the legacy of the house. Jane has been an amazing host. She gave us clear directions to find the house, welcomed us and followed up during our stay to check if we needed anything. For sure, we will come back!

Backing onto a vineyard, the upper floor of this spacious, airy and tastefully refurbished townhouse offers exclusive access to a well presented garden. A five-minute walk takes you in Salies' historic town centre with its restaurants and thermal baths. The downstairs is unoccupied.

**OWING TO ISSUES WITH THE POLICY OF GUESTS CLEANING THE HOUSE AT THE END OF THEIR STAY LAST SUMMER, A PROFESSIONAL CLEANER HAS BEEN EMPLOYED TO ENSURE THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF CLEANLINESS** The house boasts two spacious 20m2 bedrooms, one with a double, the other with a bunk bed and a sofa bed. The living room has another sofa bed. French and UK TV as well as wi-fi are included. The house is child friendly, with a cot and high chair available. Be aware that there is no bath and that you must go up some stone steps to get to the front door.
The vineyard behind us has a cave where you can sample and buy locally produced wines.

House combines tranquillity of being on the outskirts of town with the convenience of being a 10-minute walk to the town centre. An excellent bakery is a five-minute walk away.

Small house in a quiet location. Peaceful environment. The well-appointed home, really comfortable. Knowing that we had two young children. We did a lot of short trips to nearby towns. The beautiful landscape and the people of this region very welcoming.

We stayed at Wills house for two days, cutting our visit short from the week originally planned. We found the house to be very dusty - triggering our allergy even after a good vacuum. The house and the garden is otherwise as described in the pictures - old and charming - but in our opinion lacking in comfort. It is a hassle to have to change plans unexpectedly, but Will was reasonable and made things go as easily as they could.

Will was there to meet us and gave us a great introduction to the house, which became our home for 2 weeks. The house is large and has everything one needs. Even an outdoor dining area. The bedrooms (2) are very spacious, the main one having a wardrobe with plenty of hanging space and the second, a chest of drawers. The lounge room is very comfortable, with a TV Video, and a range of interesting books, and also brochures with ideas for local exploration. The kitchen is also large and very well equipped. The house is old but has been thoughtfully renovated and is clean. The bathroom is also large and very clean. It is only a 5 minute walk to the centre of "Salies" and the town has a fascinating history. We enjoyed attending the Thursday market, and some of the restaurants are very good. The house is perfect for a family of 4 seeking a holiday that can be either slow or fast depending on what you want to achieve. We would love to go back.

useful, detailed instructions provided beforehand to ease our journey and met by Will and Jo whose home was very comfortable and spacious enough for our family of six. private garden was fine for dining, dominoes and dozing. A lovely, relaxing stay in charming town and we did not want for anything
